Irina Jelavic from Assassination Classroom wears high-heeled sandals almost all the time, which don't hinder her work or her skill as a professional assassin.There is a fierce debate over the use of this trope, ranging from a realistic point ( they are very hard to balance, tiring to walk and can damage the feet and spine by prolonged use in real life, to say nothing of trying to actually fight in them), if it's a misogynistic tool in a male-dominated medium just to make the heroines more appealing, or if this is only another trope in fantasy and comics, no more unrealistic than any other.
note Just for reference, any heel less than - or of - three-and-a-half inches is excluded from this trope. While this can be part of the Most Writers Are Male trend, this tends to appear often with Female Writers as well, for various reasons. In comics this is often Depending on the Artist: artist A will use it in moderation, artist B will draw practical shoes, but artist C will insist on drawing high heels on all female characters regardless of reason, situation, or even if it's her usual style. Thanks to Sex Sells and Rule of Sexy, Action Girls will often wear high heels to complement the rest of their Stripperiffic outfits.
